Why hadn't we received any news before? I really didn't expect the young master to appear in the spiritually scarce Western Continent. But the Palace Master truly dotes on the young master, actually going to such lengths to come all this way.
No, they must find the young master as soon as possible. Given how much the master cherishes the young master, if they can find him first and take good care of him, it will be a great achievement and earn the master's favor.
As a result, all the branch halls of the Pill King Palace across the entire Western Continent sprang into action, and the whole of Western Continent was in a state of panic, wondering what the Pill King Palace was up to.
Mu Fan, the branch hall master of Xitu Royal City, immediately mobilized the resources of the Pill King Hall to begin the search upon receiving this news. The young hall master is undoubtedly a rare and exceptional genius; let's start by investigating the geniuses who have arrived on the Xitu Continent in the past month, beginning with the royal city.
Ye Xiruo quickly recovered her strength to its peak and refined a large batch of poison pills and strange pills, preparing to leave amidst the chaos. She had no intention of getting involved in the feud between the Ling and Han families.
Three days later, Ye Xiruo, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes. They had arrived, and there were quite a few of them, all of them Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators. They really seemed determined to destroy the Ling family.
"Han Lei, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? Miss Ling, don't you see it clearly? Your Ling family's good days are over. From now on, Maple Forest City will only need the Han family. Hahaha~~~~" Han Lei burst into wild laughter in mid-air.
"Don't forget about the City Lord's Mansion. Do you think your Han family can wipe out our Ling family unscathed and then destroy the City Lord's Mansion in one fell swoop? In the end, wouldn't it be like the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits, and the City Lord's Mansion would be the only one to benefit?" Even at this point, Ling Yue still didn't give up trying to provoke a little and buy some time.
"Ling Yue, stop daydreaming. If we wipe out your Ling family, will our Han family suffer any serious damage? Absolutely not. As for that old tortoise in the City Lord's Mansion, since he likes to stay in hiding, then let him stay in hiding forever and never come out."
"Don't forget our Ling family's distinguished guest." Ling Yue's face turned pale with anger, and her heart sank to the bone.
"Oh, you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. The Ling family has a little genius, right? Where is he? Is he from your Ling family? Why doesn't he show his face? Don't worry, the feud between our Han family and the Ling family will never affect others. If the little genius is willing to cooperate with our Han family, I'll offer three times the price."
The young prodigy Ye Xiruo exclaimed, "Damn it! These two are arguing, why drag me into it? She doesn't care about the feud between the two families at all. Whether she lives or dies is all up to fate. As for cooperation, heh, she doesn't need it. She just wants to go to the branch hall in the royal city, contact her master as soon as possible, and return to the Central Continent." That damned Ling Yue, even at this moment, she still couldn't resist using her as a shield. Ye Xiruo quickly ate a disguise pill, transforming into a sickly middle-aged man. He was tall, with a withered face and sunken eyes; he didn't look like a good person at all.
"Yan'er, it's about time. Stop wasting your breath on this woman. Once we destroy the Ling family, Ling Yue will be at your mercy."
"Yes, Father."
Ling Yue drew her longsword. Even if she died in battle today, she would rather die than fall into Han Yan's hands.
"Men of the Ling family, now is the time for the life and death of the Ling family. The Ling family needs you. If we win, we still have hope of survival. If we are unfortunately defeated, the Ling family will cease to exist forever. Think of your wives and children. Please fight for them and fight for the Ling family. Ling Yue is entrusting this to you."
"Fight for the Ling family!"
"Fight for the Ling family!"
"Fight for the Ling family!"
The fighting spirit that filled the air seemed to invigorate everyone: "Fight! Fight! Fight!" Ling Yue was indeed no ordinary woman.
Han Lin's expression darkened, and he unleashed the pressure of a late-stage Transformation Realm cultivator, enveloping the entire area. Those who had been so excited moments before now felt as if they had been doused with ice water. The Han family's forces were formidable; it seemed they had no better choice than to fight to the death.
"You're courting death! Kill them!" Han Lin gave the order, and the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators behind him pounced on the Ling family members like a pack of vicious wolves.
"Kill him!" Ling Yue drew her sword and cleaved a Golden Core cultivator in two at the waist. Crimson blood splattered everywhere, and Ling Yue's usually cold, moonlit face was now covered in blood. Her icy eyes flashed with astonishing killing intent. The people around her quickly retreated, watching the blood-soaked girl with lingering fear.
Ling Yue's reputation as the number one genius in Maple Forest City is well-deserved. In an instant, Ling Yue's eyes turned bloodshot. Although she was only a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, even early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were unwilling to face her.
Ye Xiruo remained motionless in her room. She knew the battle hadn't truly begun yet; this was merely a war of attrition and clashes between the core forces—in short, a meat grinder, staining the path with countless lives and blood. Only the duel between the highest levels would be the key to victory. The saying that a single top expert could rebuild a sect was not an empty boast.
So, it wasn't just the Ling family waiting; the Han family was waiting too. One, two, three, four Nascent Soul cultivators—holy crap! Ye Xiru couldn't help but curse. No wonder Ling Yue looked constipated; where did the Han family find these experts? Four Nascent Soul cultivators! On the other hand, the Ling family only had one, two. Two against one, and the Ling family's Nascent Soul cultivators weren't exactly rare geniuses; this was a complete defeat.
The biggest variable now is Ling Feng. If Ling Feng can wake up in time and make a breakthrough in strength, then the Ling family might escape the fate of being wiped out today. Otherwise, the Ling family will truly disappear from Maple Forest City.
This kind of family feud had no right or wrong; both sides quickly became bloodthirsty. Everywhere they looked, there were figures locked in battle, countless energies clashing, and weapons intertwining, forming clusters of flickering light. The once tranquil and peaceful Ling family was now mostly destroyed in the war.
The Han family had clearly come prepared this time, with ample supplies of magical artifacts and elixirs. Their faces were bloodthirsty, determined to exterminate the Ling family. As far as Ye Xiruo could see, blood splattered and energy clashed. Her room was also affected; a corner of it had been blasted away. Fortunately, she dodged quickly.
As the pillar of the Ling family, Ling Yue was besieged by three late-stage Golden Core cultivators. Her white clothes were covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was her own or the enemy's.
